According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Maximilian I, Emperor of Mexico (Emperador Maximiliano I de México) (6 July 1832 - 19 June 1867) (born Ferdinand Maximilian Joseph) was a member of Austria's Imperial Habsburg-Lorraine family. With the backing of Napoleon III of France and a group of Mexican monarchists, he was proclaimed Emperor of Mexico on 10 April 1864. Many foreign governments refused to recognize his government, especially the United States. This ensured the success of Republican forces led by Benito Juárez, and Maximilian was executed, after capture by Republicans, in Qurerétaro in 1867.
Maximilian was born in Schönbrunn, Vienna, Austria, the second son of Archduke Franz Karl of Austria and his wife Sophie Friederike Dorothee Wilhelmine, Princess of Bavaria. His siblings were Emperor Franz Josef of Austria, Karl Ludwig, Archduchess Maria Anna Caroline Pia and Archduke Ludwig Viktor. Maximilian was born with the title His Imperial and Royal Highness Ferdinand Maximilian Joseph, Prince Imperial and Archduke of Austria, Prince Royal of Hungary and Bohemia.
